Large format 3D printing for marine
PART OPTIMIZATION
Geometrically complex parts, optimized for weight and performance
FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION
Agile production with LFAM for part customization on a scalable, cost-efficient basis
FASTER PRODUCTION
Accelerate production by printing parts directly and eliminating costly assemblies, tools and molds
SPECIALIZED MATERIALS
LFAM enables innovation thanks to the qualification of several durable, marine-ready, from fiber-reinforced to sustainable and recycled alternatives
DESIGN FREEDOM
Large assemblies can be consolidated into single-piece complex parts, reducing the amount of post-processing and assembly steps
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Substitute toxic glass fiber lamination with upcycled materials, optimized designs with no use of tooling or molds, for boats with a better environmental footprint
